The twenty people standing there did not believe it either. How could a young'un like Chen Xiaobei possess the strength to sit on the eleventh spot of the Nine-Zones Earth Leaderboard?
"You impudent brat! How dare you speak of such conceited nonsense! I will teach you a lesson on your father's behalf lest would you bring disaster to our Fu family!" Baihu Fu roared, and then started pounding and kicking Fu Zhiyun.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Baihu Fu was not just putting on a show. He really did give Fu Zhiyun a mighty good beating until Fu Zhiyun was screaming and rolling all over the floor with his hands around his head.
"Could… Could thirteenth uncle be right…? Could that kid really be ranked eleventh on the Nine-Zones Earth Leaderboard?!"
Fu Zhiyun's men wondered in a worrisome note, suddenly filled with a deep sense of fear.
In the Fu family, Baihu Fu was a lower-middle core member and Fu Zhiyun was the family heir.
Baihu Fu would not have been so heavy handed with the boy unless the person that Fu Zhiyun had wronged was a powerful person that the Fu family could not afford to be enemies with.
The twenty men trembled as they put away their weapons and began to slowly step backward. There were billions of people in the nine zones. Those who could get on the Nine-Zones Earth Leaderboard were people with a bright future. They were considered as a one in a billion prodigy! With that, no one dared to lift a finger on Chen Xiaobei.
"Miracle Doctor… You… really are…" Bro Huo stared at Chen Xiaobei, lost for words.
On the other side.
The guard in black seemed troubled. "That's impossible… Our intel collection is first-cla.s.s… Yet we have nothing at all on this kid…"
"I knew there was more to him!" The man in red robe said. The expression on his face was unreadable. "Who knew that there would be an elite like him under the age of thirty outside of the nine zones! Even in Apocalypse Starfield, there's no one of the same age who could compare to him!"
The guard nodded. "Did he come from a rock? How did he suddenly rise all the way up to number eleven on the Nine-Zones Earth Leaderboard… It seems almost unbelievable…"
"Come on, let's go talk to him!" The man in red robe said. "He is qualified to be my friend!"
"Yes, sir!" The guard followed behind.
"Thirteenth uncle… Have mercy… Oww… I will die if you keep hitting me… Oww! I won't do it again… I swear… I won't… Ow…!!!"
Fu Zhiyun's face had ballooned with ugly shades of blue-black, his white clothes now soiled in patches of dust and blotches of blood. Even as he was screaming, blood poured from his mouth. His injuries were really quite severe.
"Apologize to Childe Chen! I will stop hitting if forgives you!" Baihu Fu bellowed.
"Have mercy, Childe Chen… I was wrong… I won't do it again… I beg you please… forgive me… I will die if this continues…" Fu Zhiyun dared not say anything otherwise.
Chen Xiaobei raised his eyebrow at him. "I can forgive you but I have two requests! First, you battered up Bro Huo badly, so you have to pay 800,000 Spiritual Stones in medical fees! Second, I want you to arrange a job for Bro Huo. If he is involved in any accidents, I want the entire Fu Family to be buried next to him!"
"I'll pay… I'll pay 1 million low-grade Spiritual Stones…" Fu Zhiyun cried.
Bro Huo was confounded.
He was a merely a frontline soldier on the peripheral planet of Saint Duke Starfield. Never in his life had he seen what 1 million Spiritual Stones looked like.
Now, he was still trying to digest the fact that Chen Xiaobei had just made him a millionaire in a single dictation!
"I will arrange a job for him!" Baihu Fu said. "From now on, Ah' Huo will be working with me as an orderly in the government office! If he performs well, I guarantee that he will be promoted to a higher post!"
"I… I can join the government? And… and have a chance of getting a promotion? My G.o.d… Am I dreaming…" Bro Huo's eyes were parted so wide they looked like they would fall out of the sockets.
The government office was Saint Duke Imperial City's heart where countless people cracked their heads in trying to get a job there.
A person like Bro Huo from humble origins without a rich historical background or well-heeled connections could never ever dream of landing a job in the government office.
But Chen Xiaobei had just paved such a bright and promising path for him!
Bro Huo felt as if he was dreaming – an extremely impossible but wonderful dream!
"Ah Huo! You're not dreaming! Come with me! I will take care of everything!" Baihu Fu beat his chest as a gesture of promise.
"Al… right…" Bro Huo managed to softly croak, an almost demented smile hung on his lips.
He had never thought that due to Chen Xiaobei's appearance in his life, it would become so drastically different.
It felt like he was sitting on a rocket, blasting off into the skies!
"Childe Chen… Can you forgive me now…? I'm dying here… I really am dying…" Fu Zhiyun begged, still throwing up mouthfuls of blood. It was pitiful and pathetic sight.
Chen Xiaobei shrugged. "Alright. Since you're so well behaved, I'll let this matter pa.s.s!"
Only when Chen Xiaobei said that did Baihu Fu stop his beating. "Childe Chen, if there's nothing else, I'll take this brat back to have his wounds tended to, and then set Ah Huo up with a job!"
"Go ahead!" Chen Xiaobei waved his hand. "Bro Huo, if things here are not to your liking, give me a call anytime!"
"Miracle Doctor…" Bro Huo cupped his fist and bowed to Chen Xiaobei. "Thank you, Miracle Doctor! I will always remember your kindness!"
Because of Chen Xiaobei's support, Bro Huo could enjoy comfortable and fair sailing days in the government office.
Bro Huo had no idea how he could ever repay such a big favour. He could only keep this close to his heart and hopefully, be able to have a chance to repay Chen Xiaobei in the future.
After that, everyone left with Baihu Fu.
Chen Xiaobei did not leave. He turned around to face the corner of the street and said, "Friend, since you've already come, why don't you just show yourself?"
The man in the red robe and his guard walked out.
The man smiled, "Allow me to introduce myself – I am…"
Chen Xiaobei cut him off. "I know you. You are the youngest prince of Neptune, Ao Lianchang! Fourth on the Nine-Zones Earth Leaderboard!"
